This park is new and awesome! There is something for every age. Our new favorite park but lacks shade!
Very nice park. Has some fun and unusual play pieces, plus safety town right across the parking lot. It can get a little busy but as a general two thumbs up
Great playground with a cute little safety town across the parking lot!
This was a really fun playground for our kids and there was a pavilion with picnic tables for lunch. Only downside was the portopotty for a bathroom...but it was probably the cleanest portopotty I've ever seen.
Biggest complaint: There's NO shade. The park is okay. I probably wouldn't go to this park again unless it was 75 degrees and partly cloudy. I've never seen a playground for children with no shade. Across the way at the fire station, there is a cool little play area, "safety town." My son kept asking to go days after we visited.
